Film that tells us the importance of family
First off, Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes's acting is just wow. Their chemistry is unbelievable.The film has a lot to do with family and it's importance and how we should value them more while we're still here. The film also touches on the subject of how we should just trust God and His plans. I honestly didn't focus much on that aspect since I'm not exactly a devout Catholic. But, I do believe even if you're not a devout Catholic, like me, you'll still be able to enjoy the film.
There are a lot of serious moments, but there were also some fun and light moments. It also made me ugly cry inside the theater (and I heard others sniffling, too), so I suggest bringing tissues haha. It didn't help that they kept playing Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay by Ben&Ben.
One quote that stuck to me was:
"Naintindihan ko na kung bakit bata pa lang pinagtagpo na tayo, dahil hindi pala tayo sabay tatanda."

Fun Webtoon to Kdrama Adaptation
I read the webtoon version which the drama was adapted from, and I was pleasantly happened with how this turned out.They changed some things here and there, but overall it's still good. I still prefer the webtoon version, but this one wasn't bad.
I liked the casting, they did a good job on that. I hope to see more dramas with Ahn Bo-hyun as the male lead, he did well here. And of course, my queen Shin Hye-sun did not disappoint!
Overall, just a fun and relaxing kdrama to watch when you're not in the mood for anything too serious.

Fun watch, feel-good drama
It was a fun watch, feel-good drama. I loved the editing, it was hilarious. The characters were hilarious. I love their relationships with each other, especially Woo-yeo and Hye-sun's (platonic) relationship. They're just like siblings.Honestly, my only problem was that I didn't really feel the chemistry between Woo-yeo and Dam. Sure, I liked them together but they didn't exactly *click* for me. I was really into their relationship in the first few episodes, but my interest in them dwindled down as the episodes went by. But, Jae-jin and Hye-sun's relationship honestly makes up for it.
And, if you're looking for a light watch, this one's for you.

Easy watch but problematic portrayal of a side character
This isn't the best drama by any means, but it's a fun and easy watch!The dramatization of everything especially the fight scenes in the first few episodes were hilarious. The ridiculous dreams of Dae-hyun, too.
I'm just annoyed with how they portrayed Dal-shik, the dreadlocks were so ??¿¿ Like why in the world did you portray him as someone who is dirty, with flies always following him around ??? Honestly, absolutely unnecessary. From what I've read about comparisons between the webtoon and kdrama, his character wasn't even like that. Aside from Dal-shik's character, everyone else did okay and good.

Stayed for Sehun..
In theory, the story and plotline are great. They had the basics to a good story, you know? It seemed like it was something that's really good when I first read the synopsis before I began watching the show, but it didn't really live up to my expectations. I expected so much more. It went in the wrong direction, in my opinion. Still watchable and likeable in a sense, but definitely had more potential. Mostly watchable, for me, since Sehun is here.The acting is okay/good. The casting for the adults is.. questionable. Specifcally for Go Yoo and Go Joon-hee.
Some parts seemed unnecessary, too. At the end, I just continued watching to support Sehun.

Left me disappointed
After watching the trailer when it was first released, I was so excited, especially thinking about who are included in the cast. But, as much as they did an amazing job, the story left me disappointed.I was honestly expecting so much, especially with the thousands of praise the film received, but I guess this just wasn't my cup of tea.
Also, the absurd amount of times "mother" was used just made me cringe for lack of a better word. The word just kept repeating all throughout the movie that it essentially lost its meaning.
I have to give props to the cast though because they did absolutely amazing. Plus, the costumes, my gosh! They did wonderful. The cast looked amazing, I swear.

Fun, relaxing, and easy to watch!
Oh wow! I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this so much because of how many people told me that this was boring. But, honestly, I enjoyed this so much! The chemistry between the main leads (Kim Seon-ho & Shin Min-ah) is amazing. I'm also a sucker for dimples, so it helps that both the female and male lead had those, haha.Hometown Cha Cha Cha is one of thise kdramas that you can just relax and enjoy. It's a healing kdrama and the vibes are just immaculate.
I don't know what else to say aside from watch this kdrama if you haven't yet! :)

Chill, feel good drama.
When I first heard that Business Proposal was getting a k-drama adaptation, I couldn't be more excited! They also chose the best actors to portray the characters, I can't imagine anyone else doing better. They did such a great job.I was already obsessed with the webtoon before and I became doubly obsessed after seeing it come to life. The story was so good, the characters had such great chemistry together, and I couldn't stop laughing until my belly hurt. Everything about this kdrama was just mwa!
Plus, the music is a blessing to the ears.

Such a disappointment.
I was initially so excited for this drama, especially because the main couple (Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong) looked so good together. I was excited for this because the previews and promo videos looked promising!The beginning was good, but it only went downhill. Honestly speaking, I probably would have dropped this way sooner if it weren't for the side stories/couples (most especially Sehun). It's a meh kdrama, I definitely think they could've done so much better with this.
The main couple were just too boring for me that the supporting characters took the spotlight, and I kept waiting for the (main) characters to finish whatever they were doing for that scene so I could see more of the supporting characters. Not gonna lie, the casting director did a good job with choosing the cast because everyone was so good looking here, and probably reason why a lot of us stayed, lol. Plus Sehun is here.

Casting is everything!
I'm a sucker for rom-com stuff, so, of course, I enjoyed this one. But I do have to admit that the best thing about this kdrama is the casting choices. I can just imagine that I wouldn't be as invested in this kdrama had they chosen other actors. Kudos to the actors because they did such an amazing job.There were definitely lapses when it came to the plot. The taxi driver killer was so one-dimensional, in my opinion. We didn't have that much information on him aside from being a serial killer; he barely even talked. He was basically just there as an obstacle for the leads, nothing else. Speaking of the leads, I wish they gave them more substance, you know? I like them together, and I'm glad that BWS and KHY's chemistry had me wanting more, but their lives basically revolved around one another. Almost all of Sol's and Sun-jae's choices had something to do with each other.
Despite all that, I still quite enjoyed the drama. I don't consider this the best kdrama by any means, but it's somewhat of a feel-good and filler kdrama with a side of serial killer for me, and I enjoyed that.
